"Hvem klappar?"

Representative Text

1 Hvem klappar så sakta i aftonens frid
På ditt hjärta?
Hvem nalkas med läkdom, så ljuflig och blid,
För själens förborgade smärta?

2 Måhända du hörde det klappandet förr
Och den rösten?
Hvi dröjer du ännu att öppna din dörr
För lifvet, för himmelska trösten?

3 Du känner det ofta så ödsligt och kallt
Midt i världen;
Du känner det nästan, som fattades allt,
Trots glansen af yrande flärden.

4 Hvar ros här på jorden sitt törne ju har,
Men den friden,
Som Jesus dig ger, intet törne har qvar,
När dagen en gång är förliden.

Caroline W. Sandell Berg (b. Froderyd, Sweden, 1832; d. Stockholm, Sweden, 1903), is better known as Lina Sandell, the "Fanny Crosby of Sweden." "Lina" Wilhelmina Sandell Berg was the daughter of a Lutheran pastor to whom she was very close; she wrote hymns partly to cope with the fact that she witnessed his tragic death by drowning. Many of her 650 hymns were used in the revival services of Carl O. Rosenius, and a number of them gained popularity particularly because of the musical settings written by gospel singer Oskar Ahnfelt. Jenny Lind, the famous Swedish soprano, underwrote the cost of publishing a collection of Ahnfelt's music, Andeliga Sänger (1850), which consisted mainly of Berg's hymn texts.
